Steven Gerrard will start his final game at Anfield after Brendan Rodgers makes two changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Chelsea last weekend for today’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

Gerrard leads the side out for the final time at Anfield before he leaves to join LA Galaxy, and he’ll be joined in the side by the returning Jordan Ibe, with Rickie Lamber dropped to the bench.

That means Raheem Sterling moves into a makeshift striker role, with the other change coming in defence with Glen Johnson replaced by Alberto Moreno.
